                     THE PAST CAME ALIVE YESTERDAY

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, yesterday our House Speaker indicated that it 
was our high honor to host Her Excellency, the President of the 
Republic of Korea. She expressed profound gratitude to us for our 
friendship with Korea and shared with us improvements realized by her 
country since the guns fell silent in 1953.
  Many refer to the Korean war as the ``Forgotten War,'' but, Mr. 
Speaker, there was no evidence on Capitol Hill yesterday to suggest 
that this war has been forgotten.
  The Korean President referred to this Chamber as ``this hallowed 
ground of freedom and democracy.'' The past came alive yesterday as our 
Congress hosted this very distinguished leader from Korea.
